1946 Celebrations Dieu Droit Lion Official Pennies Postwar Price Programme Sepia Twopence Unicorn Victory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white print captures the jubilant atmosphere of the post-World War II double victory celebrations held in London on 8th June 1946. The image, reminiscent of the 1940s and 40s, features an official programme cover for the event, showcasing the iconic design of the British lion and unicorn supporting the royal coat of arms. The motto "Dieu et Mon Droit" (God and My Right) is inscribed beneath the crown. The two victories being celebrated refer to the Allied triumphs in both World War II against Nazi Germany and the Axis powers, and the subsequent end of hostilities in Europe and the Pacific. The programme cover bears the price of two pence, reflecting the economic austerity of the time. The sepia tone adds to the nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a period of hope and renewal following the hardships of war. The Second World War had brought about significant changes to the world, and this celebration marked a pivotal moment in history. The unity and resilience of the British people were on full display, as they came together to honor their sacrifices and look towards a brighter future. This poignant print serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the era and the enduring power of hope and unity in the face of adversity.
